High 5: Baltimore comfort food

Mac and cheese at SoBo Café

Ingredients: Macaroni, cheese, tomatoes and love

Damage: $5

There's nothing in this world so bad that a block of SoBo's mac 'n' cheese can't work as a cure-all. Big, squishy noodles baked with layers of crusty cheese are served in a cozy dining room, where wooden floors and art-lined walls are just the soul-stroking details the doctor ordered. Big enough for two (if you have it in your heart to share), this mac 'n' cheese is the perfect reminder that you are not alone in the universe: There will always be cheese. And carbs.
